I got so used to Hexbear's pocket universe that I forgot how terrible internet liberals actually are. (hexbear.net)

I assumed it was just "hire more LGBTQIA+ prison guards!" so-true

It's worse than that. What I've seen recently because of federation is "(verbal performative) support for disadvantaged people as long as they maintain a successful small business in a disadvantaged area for no less than three years and aren't anywhere to the left of Bernie Sanders!"

I thought I knew what to expect after having experienced a deluge of LIB takes on platforms like Reddit and Twitter, and yet, I was taken totally aback by some of the unhinged ones I've seen on here since the federation. From bog standard accusations of being bots or paid shills for disagreeing with them, to flat out disgusting claims that queer people on Hexbear are not really queer because they're not liberals. visible-disgust

Who the fuck is everybody here complaining about "liberals"?

I see so many complaints and yet I don't know who is doing the complaining. What are your ideals, beliefs, and stances? Are you all of the same mindset? Different mindset? Or is this just a "liberals bad" circle jerk?

Also, yes, I consider myself a "liberal".

comfy

I still don't believe in the existence of people actually calling humans "meatbags". What level of cringe roleplaying are these translucent nerds into?

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I see edgy pseudo-intellectual reductionism all the time among some internet people (and some offline people too, unfortunately). It ranges from calling people apes (usually to justify barbaric or coarse behavior under naturalistic fallacies) to numerous pop-nihilistic statements about the offline world being "meatspace" and the people in it being nothing more than "meat computers," "stochastic parrots," or whatever other life lessons they picked up from Rick and Morty. debord-tired

It doesn't help and it often justifies apathy and neglect toward the suffering of actual living, thinking, feeling people. True cognitohazard, and Hexbear's had outbreaks of it before.

Kindly,

Shut the FUCK up.

I'm so sick and tired of you MAGAts pretending to be communists, clogging my feed with your bullshit. I block one Hexbear community, another one pops up. How do I block this entire fucking instance? Trump LOST. GET OVER IT.
